CHICAGO, March 29—
The Chicago Board of Trade has suspended trading in its five-month-old Corporate Bond Index futures contract because of a lack of volume. The contract is based on an index of bonds issued by 100 United States corporations. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission has approved ''dormant status'' for the contract, so the exchange could revive it later.
